headlight 1 is equipped with a first connector 6 (seeFigure 1 ) carried by thecasing 2 and connected with the electrical wiring (not shown) used to supply the light source. Thefirst connector 6, of a known type, comprises an insulatingparallelepiped casing 7 housing, in the shown non-limiting example, a plurality of electrical conductors, e.g. arranged in a comb-shape. It is clear that what will be seen is identically applicable also to single, single wire, connectors. - The
first connector 6 is able to couple with asecond connector 8, which is complementary to the first connector (for example it is of the female type if thefirst connector 6 is of the male type) and is able to supply the power supply from the electrical wiring arranged on board the vehicle. - The
second connector 8 is also of a known type and comprises a substantially parallelepipedinsulating casing 9 provided with an elongated rectangularrear wall 10 from which a plurality ofelectric cables 11 emerge, said electric cables being aligned along the longer sides of the elongatedrectangular wall 10. - According to the present invention, the
casing 2 integrally comprises asupport bracket 13 designed to define a seat 14 for the stable housing of thefirst connector 6. Thissupport bracket 13 is provided with anabutment wall 15 integrally connected with thesupport bracket 17 through anintegral portion 16 having a reduced thickness with respect to theabutment wall 15 to provide an integral hinge of the film-type. - The
abutment wall 15 is movable between a rest position shown inFigure 2 (or inFigure 5 with regard to the second embodiment), wherein theintegral portion 16 is not deformed and the seat 14 is accessible from the outside of thesupport bracket 13, and a use position shown inFigure 4 (or inFigure 6 with regard to the second embodiment), wherein theintegral portion 16 is bent and theabutment wall 15 is arranged to at least partially close the seat 14 and faces/is arranged in contact with the rectangularrear wall 10. The uncoupling of thesecond connector 8 from thefirst connector 6 is thus prevented, since theabutment wall 15 is positioned against the rectangularrear wall 10. In greater detail, thesupport bracket 13 is substantially U-shaped and comprises tworectilinear side elements 17 that extend integrally from aperipheral portion 18 of thecasing 2, and arectilinear element 19 that extends integrally between theside elements 17. In the embodiment ofFigures 2 and4 , theintegral portion 16 having a reduced thickness is formed by a rectangular wall and extends integrally from a central portion of the edge of therectilinear element 19. - Always according to the embodiment of
Figures 2 and4 , theabutment wall 15 comprises arectangular wall 21 having a larger edge integral with a larger side edge of therectangular portion 16 having a reduced thickness and twointegral end portions 23, each provided with a circular throughhole 22. - The
bracket 13 further comprises a pair of cylindrical tubular bodies 24 (Figure 2 ) having respective axes, which are coaxial with the axes of the circular throughholes 22 when theabutment wall 15 is arranged in the use position. Thesetubular bodies 24 are designed to house the threaded stem of screws (Figure 4 ) having end portions of the stem engaging theholes 22. The screws are provided withheads 25, which come into contact with theend portions 23 in order to provide a stable mechanical connection between theend portions 23 of saidabutment wall 15 and thesupport bracket 13. - In the embodiment of
Figures 5 and 6 , theintegral portion 16 having a reduced thickness is formed by a rectangular wall and integrally extends from an edge portion of arectilinear side element 17. - Always according to the embodiment of
Figures 5 and 6 , theabutment wall 15 comprises an elongatedrectilinear wall 27 having a smaller edge integral with a side edge of the rectangular portion having a reducedthickness 16 and anintegral end portion 28 provided with a circular throughhole 29. - The
bracket 13 further includes a cylindrical tubular body 31 (Figure 5 ) having an axis coaxial with the axis of the circular throughhole 29 when theabutment wall 15 is arranged in the use position. - Also in this case, the
tubular body 31 is designed to house the threaded stem of a screw (Figure 6 ) having end portions of the stem that engage thehole 29. The screw is provided with ahead 32, which abuts against theend portion 28 in order to create a stable mechanical connection between theend portion 28 of saidabutment wall 15 and thesupport bracket 13. - With reference to
Figure 2 , a pair ofcylindrical appendages 40 are provided that extend integrally to thebracket 13 alongside thecylindrical bodies 24. Eachcylindrical appendage 40 is provided with a substantiallyspherical end portion 41, which protrudes from the seat 14. Theabutment wall 15 has a pair of throughopenings 42 arranged beside theopenings 22 and having a smaller diameter than these latter. In particular, the diameter of theopenings 42 is close to the diameter of the end portion 14. Theopenings 42 are suitable for housing therespective end portions 41 with a press fit interference before theabutment wall 15 is arranged so as to completely close the seat 14. - In use, when the
integral portion 16 is inflected, it is rectilinear (seeFigure 2 ) and keeps theabutment wall 15 below thebracket 13. In this position, the seat 14 is completely accessible from the outside of thesupport bracket 13. An operator (or a robot) can couple theconnectors second connector 8 in the seat 14. Then the operator grasps theabutment wall 15 and rotates it until theends 41 are arranged in theholes 42, thus creating a pre-hooking position in which theabutment wall 15 is already facing the seat 14 and theholes 22 face the cylindricaltubular bodies 24. The screws are then inserted into theholes 22 by screwing them until theheads 25 press theabutment wall 15 on thebracket 13. Theabutment wall 15 abuts against thewall 10 of thesecond connector 8, thus preventing any movement of this latter with respect to thefirst connector 6. - A further advantage of the described solutions consists in that the
locking element 15, which is very small, is secured to the headlight body, thus avoiding any risk of it being lost or any need to bring it in line as an independent element and then insert it on site where spaces are limited. - Therefore, all the purposes of the invention are achieved.
